"this is where their story ends...for the time being"
good bye Ian Holloway
1953...who used to be famous?
-
Bye bye Holloway
-
Yep, that quote is why I really wanted them to fook off back down to the Championship. Enjoy your trips to the even more half arsed Hull and Barnsley instead.
-
Could not be happier with the 2 that have gone. Good riddance to both.
-
indeed
-
I am fucking delighted that Blackpool and Blues fucked it up on the last day.

Couldn't agree more.

I thought they would stay up for 3 seasons
Autumn, winter and spring

Yup.
-
Well I'm really sorry to see them go, both because they've played some good football and I've got good friends who support them.

Same here. One of our group companies is just outside Blackpool. Won't miss Holloway though.
-
Part of me wanted Blackpool to stay up. Small club battling against the odds and all that.
But a bigger part of me wanted to see the turnip muncher crestfallen. Think they might struggle next year. They've experienced the rarefied atmosphere of the top flight and some of their players might struggle to get motivated to face the likes of Doncaster, Watford and so on.
-
The sad thing is that Rent-A-Quote will probably walk out on Blackpool and get another job with some middling PL team before the year is up. We'll just have to slap them silly when they come to VP.
-
Good riddance to the old carrot cruncher!!!!...... :o
-
I'm glad Holloway's gone bye bye.
-
They're in Europe though!
So that's the creme de la nPower Championship representing England, along with that alehouse outfit Stoke and a disinterested Spurs. Another nail in Europa League's coffin.
-
Don't understand the Blackpool hatred, unless it's about one quote in which case I think it makes us look small time and overly sensitive.
I thought they were great to watch and the league will be less exciting without them
-

It's not 'that' quote for me, I just really really dislike Holloway in general. A shame for the fans and all that, but if the manager had behaved less like a tit then I think more people might be a bit more sympathetic.

Didn't want Blackpool to go down, however fu*king hate Holloway, what a total tool

Does it hell make us look small time. That saying is becoming massively overused.
If a manager disrespects and takes the piss out of my club then I reserve the right to indulge in a spot of shadenfreude.
-
It isn't just that quote, though is it?
Its the times when he ought to keep quiet instead of insulting a historic club, shamefully kissing King Kenny's arse and talking utter bollocks, to the point Fergie Bluelips suggested he shut his mouth.
Good riddance.
-
One jackass being replaced by another. Step forward Neil Warnock.
-
He's always been a complete prick, with his poxy sub-Peter Kay comedy "act" going down a storm with arse-licking journos and nobody else whatsoever.
-
Sad to see Blackpool go- they were a credit to the premier league during their stay.
-

Just out of interest, and not being arsy, but in what way were they 'a credit'? I really don't see it. Scored a bunch of goals, lost a bunch of games, got relegated after one season. Ho hum. Similarly, being a mouthy, self-satisfied gobshite doesn't constitute being 'a breath of fresh air'.
-
I wonder how much money Championship player Charlie Adam will make for Mr Rent A Quote.
-
Holloway is a strange little man, he was a nasty sod as a player and he's a tactically naive manager. Thanks for 'brightening' the season for everyone but you can kindly run off back to where you and your silly little club belong. He's moaning about the fact that his players won't take a pay-cut to play in the Championship. Has he spent any time around footballers in the last few years? How is that a surprise to him?
-
I wanted Blackpool to stay up, underdogs and all that. Holloway annoyed me with his comments about us but I can forgive that. Having said that, on a day that I'm enjoying the Noses going down I would quite happily give second chances to Gordon Brown, Steve McLaren, all the bankers and The Yorkshire Ripper.
-
I wish they'd stayed up. Holloway may be an irritant, but it made a change to see a crap team actually attack rather than play for 0-0 draws all the time, the league would be infinetely less dull if more teams played like them. Particularly after the number of teams we've seen down VP who aim to just stifle rather than actually play
-
Fuck holloway. Yes it is about that quote....don't disrespect something I hold so dear you little gollum bastard. And to hear him rimming king kenny as well as disrespecting Ged made it worse. I'm sorry for Blackpool football club but couldn't be happier-beat the scouse, blues down, holloway gone, bets came in. A good day all round
-
They were a credit in the way they played , they had a real go and didn't play boring dull spoiling football like some others in the league- there were several games that were great to watch .

I take your point, but NONE of the teams that came up this season were particularly negative, really. Still, you're right about some other clubs being spoilers. Maybe it IS just a total dislike of their manager after all ;-)

Is he really trying to get them to take a pay cut? Blackpool only pay Championship level wages anyway. Don't they pay a maximum of £15k a week?
-
I wanted Blackpool to stay up right up until the moment the gobby little prick started giving it large about our club.
From that moment on, I just wanted Blackpool down.
Good riddance.

Yes, it's not just what he said about us but his awful sucking up to other clubs. When I heard his words it was a case of sitting back and waiting for a day like today. A mate of mine was at Scum Trafford and is a big Blackpool fan, for him I have sympathy but as I said at the time, the Blackpool manager needs to choose his words wisely or he may end up looking rather stupid.
Another drink anyone?
-
Nothing against the club per se, just the hyperactive farmer managing it.

Ditto. I had no problem with them until he started to run his mouth about Villa.
-
I liked them as underdogs and for the football they played. It was not the best quality wise and a little naive but they were never dull. Considering the fact that his comments were 4 months ago and blatantly wrong nonsense from a man who doesn't know when to switch his mouth off I am willing to look past them.
Had his teams goals been the ones that sent the noses down I think we would all be a bit more positive.
-
As with a lot of others it seems, I thought Blackpool were very entertaining and I would have liked them to stay up at the expense of Wigan.
Until, that is, Holloway became a very boring and extremely annoying parody of himself.

Me Three.

Got to be honest, I'd have preferred Wigan to go. They're just permanent relegation-flirters and I wish they'd just go and drop.
As for Blackpool - I couldn't care less to be honest. I suppose it's one less trip to Lancashire but on the basis I missed the trip up there this season I doubt I'll notice they've gone.
-

I like Warnock. Looking forward to listening to him next season. Knows his stuff, good manager, says what he believes, but still respectful of others. Unlike Holloway, who spouts off to massage his own over-inflated ego.

Actually, it was Coyle's Burnley two seasons' ago that had the "have a go" approach, and it nearly paid off for them.

"this is where their story ends...for the time being"
good bye Ian Holloway
1953...who used to be famous?
Zhong Yi, your original question I think relates to Blackpool's one moment of English football fame, when they beat Bolton 4-3 in the FA Cup Final (the Stanley Matthews final).
-
McLeish to Wet Spam, Holloway to the Sty, Hughton to Blackpool.
-
Golloway disrespected The Villa
Sullivan Gold Brady disrespected The Villa
Blose allways disrespect The Villa
and where are they now?
-
Unfortunately Holloway seemed more interested in making the quote of the week (a bit like John Gregory) then teaching his team to defend.
-
Better a "used to be" famous than "never were" famous
-
Golloway disrespected The Villa
Sullivan Gold Brady disrespected The Villa

Yeah they were the 3 i wanted down, obviously some more than others. As for our shit-kicker friend, hopefully we've heard the last of him in the premier league.
-
I liked Blackpool, I like the way they attacked, I liked the fact they didn't go buck mad with wages and I found Holloway's comment to be a wake up call to everyone at Villa.
The only part that pissed me off was his arse licking of Liverpool in the incident.

yes and how that one little piece of history has been milked to death.
Stanley Matthews didn't even score in the game, did he?
So from that point of view, I am sure that Blackpool are in fact very "half arsed" seeing as they haven't won fuck all since 1953 and the fact that the game is harped on about at every 3rd round FA Cup draw, it could be reasonable to suggest that those serial donkey abusers did infact used to be famous.

My thoughts too. Fair play to Blackpool for giving it such a good go, whoever they played against. Their fans were given value for money week in week out by a group of players earning far less than the rest of the greedy Prem Lge lot.
They deserve all the credit they've been given for their entertaining and brave approach this season, and on that basis so does their manager, however irritating his press conferences may be to some.

As one of the mourners drily remarked after the death of Stan Mortensen "They'll probably call it the Matthews funeral".

Same here.
I was never enamoured by his snippets of home-spun wisdom, even back when he was managing QPR, but I would much rather shell out my hard-earned to watch us play one of his his teams rather than, to give one tedious example, fucking Stoke. And I would same the same for Wet Spam: usually a decent game.
-

No Mathews didn't score, but he did provide the crosses for at least two of the goals. (Mortenson - hat trick, Bill Perry - 1)
It was the first football match I ever watched on the box and for me and many others it was an exciting, memorable and emotional game. It's all been pretty much downhill since. (For me and them)
I'm a bit sad to see them go down. I think they were good for the Premier League.
-
Perfect day, After the disrespect from Holloway towards us I have wanted nothing but the worst for the whole of their club.
In fact if I could choose 3 to go down I wouldn't have changed a thing, The porn baron's and the rentagob fat bird at WH along with Holloway is brilliant but add the noses in as well and it's the perfect "3-some".
-
Fuck off Holloway. You pug ugly, disrespectful, rent a quote, wurzel ******.
-
Why are they in Europe?
-
Fair play league

And is all Zoltan Gera's fault.

Their defending was suicidal. Holloways' refusal to address it out of some misguided corinthian spirit was negligant, and it's cost them dearly.
Still, they'll probably have to sell a few players now, so little Olly will do okay out of it.
-
Bye bye pug nose. Enjoy sliding back down the leagues won't you ? No problem with Blackpool, but Billy Big Bollocks deserves all he got for his disrespectful comments about us.
-
Could not be happier with the 2 that have gone. Good riddance to both.
Double thumbs up
-

I think Holloway's comment would have been appropriate as a wake up call if Villa's approach for Charlie Adam had been the approach of a "Billy Big Bollocks" club who expected Adam to want to come to us simply because of who we were. But from everything I've heard that was not the approach we took. Therefore his comments were totally uncalled for.
-
i was delighted they went down...
his lies, his hypocricy and his disrespect to us, while feltching kenny dogleash, was totally uncalled for...
the carrott crunching gollum looking rent a quote gobshite...
fuck off and dont come back...
-
My, lots of people getting all "regionalist" on Ian Holloway.
I'm sad they've gone down - fair play to em for giving it a good go!
I was as annoyed as any Villa fan when he started spouting at us but I'd rather listen to his comments than most of the other dull rubbish from all the other managers (Dalglish inparticular)
-
I'm not sad they've gone, besides we get Norwich to patronise next season.
-
TBH
Blackpool reminded me of something you would see at an Under 11 level, all gung home with 10 men attacking and then forgetting to run back and defend.
I don't get the love in that a lot of sides have had towards them and all this breath of fresh air bollocks.
No different to Hull and couple of years ago, got a few decent results then they get sussed and go into freefall.
Anyway thats the last we've seen of Blackpool
-
the media irritated me with this "everyones second club" bollocks...
fuck were they mine...
only other teams i have are the villa reserves and villa youth teams...
-

They were "a breath of fresh air" apparently.
Over the course of 38 games though, they weren't good enough - in a league that contained some absolute dross. They league table never lies.
-
I like to see clubs like Blackpool, who have never played in it before, get into the PL and have their turn. The likes of Norwich getting promoted just feels like the usual cycle of things, so I prefer to see a Blackpool or a Barnsley as it means so much more to them.
Holloway talked in a disrespectful fashion about our club, so he can go fuck himself, but the club as a whole I'm glad they got promoted. I also have very little sympathy with them going down as that's simply the footballing reality that they weren't good enough.
-
Why do the media think we have to have a second favourite club? I don't need a second favourite club and if I do I will pick it myself. Don't tell me I had to like Newcastle in the nineties or Blackpool this last twelve months. (Admittedly I developed a strong fondness for Spurs, Wigan and Wolves yesterday afternoon!)
-

Aye, that annoyed the life out of me as well. He was painted as this media darling, when he was anything but, in fact he was a nasty little man who spouted off about Houlliers "dodgy wicket". What twat says that?

Is the correct answer...give the man a ceeeegar!

Have a soft spot for Fulham. But that probably because it is such a pleasant day out. Proper family club as well.
